In the basement of the Academy of Fine Arts building in Warsaw, a club-restaurant called "Eufemia" is being created. The place begins to gather young people with artistic ambitions, becoming the center of their lives. It quickly gains a reputation as a unique spot on the artistic map of the entire country.
